More about Wengen
The Resort
The skiing in Wengen is intrinsically linked to the neighboring resort of Grindelwald, forming a vast interconnected area dominated by sweeping red and blue runs. It is heavily favored by intermediates who enjoy long, scenic cruising, but it also boasts the famous Lauberhorn downhill track, the longest race in the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, offering a true test for advanced skiers when not in use for competition.
Beyond the slopes, Wengen's appeal lies in its tranquility and slower pace of life. Walking through the snowy, traffic-free streets after a day on the mountain is a serene experience. With excellent train links connecting the village to both the valley below and the peaks above, Wengen represents the quintessential Swiss winter holiday, perfectly blending sporting heritage with spectacular nature.
On the Mountain
Wengen is an intermediate skier's paradise, offering long, meticulously groomed red and blue runs that seamlessly connect with Grindelwald via Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen. Advanced skiers can challenge themselves on the legendary Lauberhorn World Cup downhill piste, while beginners have access to gentle nursery slopes right in the center of the car-free village.
Jungfrau Region, Bernese Oberland
